FYI - Front Rest/Bipod Spiked Feet Pads

Doesn’t someone make these in a larger diameter? I remember seeing them somewhere online in the past.

Those caldwell ones are a bit soft and shaky. Rubber gives a bit and some regular benchrest leveling feet like a seb neo just goes right thru them. Push on your rest and watch thru the scope to check before you trust them too much
 
I made these from .5" thick, 2.5" diameter round brass stock. The pad is a high density product that doesn't wiggle, jiggle or shift. The center point is an 82 degree angle to match the rest points on my Farley.

Good shootin' :) -Al

Cliff Arnold (aka Bob Adams) super feet are cut from a solid block.
The Seb i have the carbide tips are inserts I'm thinking, they are long and very sharp.16639382720961183994445751332286.jpg

I have removed the copper from armor piercing .30 cal. rounds and press fit the carbide into drilled out legs for my Gary Hayes Rest. That works fine too but now they fit into super feet. I use the armor piercers on our concrete benches at home. Every four or five or six years I trowel a slurry skim coat on the benches and they are as good as new, easy peasy. And no sweat. I don’t understand the wadded up underpants over a job easier than cutting the grass And I’ve professed this at more than one range.
 
I’m sold on Al Nyhus’s feet; those from Caldwell carry a Cancer and Reproductive Harm warning for Californians. Al’s do not.
Almost everything sold in Commiefornia has that warning on the product of which air will eventually be on that list of toxic items.

Have you seen the craters at some of those old ranges? Some of those guys used to have mushroomed caps on their legs from the 4lb shop hammers.

I changed out a trailer plug on my 4 wheeler trailer and the plug came with the California cancer warning. How do you get cancer from an electrical plug?
